If we'd build a new nation and we would take ideas etc. from different countries..

[PurpleTree]

If we would build a new country and tried to make it as "good" as possible.

obviously we wouldn't agree on everything.

But if we'd try to adopt the best ideas, policies etc. from other countries.

What do we take from which country from all around the world to build our new "utopia" ?

Free crunchy tacos at the voting booth.

j/k no bannings pls

I need a free chocolate and a free ice-cream everyday for the rest of my life. 

Can you please adopt this new policy for me (only me) in your new utopia country please. It shouldn't cost the taxpayers too much.

Impossible

I don't think that's possible, sorrys

I'd start with an education system that teaches kids how to think for themselves and to know themselves. That would be step 1. The rest would be history!

Because best is relative to your wants and needs. We cant even agree on this forum.

Fine then. I've decided to boycott your country. Go. I don't want such utopia where I can't have a free lifetime ice-cream subscription. I am leaving your country bye bye. 

 

Lol jk

Then it wouldnt be a utopia because 60% get their way and 40% dont.

That's why i put utopia into quotes and said try to make it as good as possible, nothing will be perfect.

We could try to integrate let's say the ice cream culture of Italy. and then it'll be on every corner.

Psilocybin each time before Christmas ❤️ We all want that afterglow during the day!!

Sounds good. Would it be mandatory for every citizen or just rituals and gatherings etc. where it's offered and people could take it?

Also would we adopt holidays like Christmas. Would we try to adopt every holiday from around the world?

Would we try to come up with new ones? Or go back to the ancient ones? before Christianity etc.

But who would it be good enough for? Who is going to live there?

We'd see if we want democracy as a form of government or if we find something better.

And i guess we'd have to vote on most things, as some type of direct democracy.

Who would it be good enough for? Some things will be good for you and some won't.

Who'd live there? I can't decide that. Would there be requirements to live there like for example a certain amount of plant medicine sessions?

Its a great thought-experiment, it makes you realize how amazing it is to have society at all. Read up on Sociology if you havent, its awesome.

Probably Earth. We'd even need to vote on which place we want. Mountainous, Island, climate etc.?

A place with beaches, mountains and fertile soil would be awesome (I'm looking at you New Zealand) but in the end we'd probably get any "decent" place we could buy and agree upon.

How would we defend ourselves against invaders, foreign powers, infiltration etc.?

Would we have an army? Nuclear deterrence? A defence pact with other peaceful nations?

None of the above, just hope for the best and be a shining example for humanity?
